never regret

people say they never regret...

i like to THINK i dont regret things...that i learn from every experience
but lately i have been doubting that with my college choice.
daily iam reminded that i am not in a job that i earned with my degree...
and i still have $32,000 worth of loans to pay for it!
annoying!

but i think i was just reminded why i should not regret my 4 years at MNU
her name is Katelyn Luann Spielman, to me she is LU
we have gone on so many adventures together and i love her to death.
we were inseparable before our freshman year even started.
we met in the most awkward way, but thats us!

here is the story of us - 
as i was sitting in my dorm room during Soar (college orientation) waiting for my roommate to show up, this random girl shows up in my room talking on the phone, and asks if the thermostat is in my room.
"are you kidding me" - iam thinking.  i have been in this stupid room for 30 minutes and i have no idea.
so i look around a little bit and do not find it!  so i tell her no.
she insists that her friend told her it was in the end room and it has to be here, she is flamin hot and insists it be turn down!
at this point iam sure we exchanged names or something.
and she goes on her way.

later that evening i found the thermostat :)

from then on we were talking all the time. and were so excited when we found out our rooms were going to be across the hall from eachother!!

unless proven otherwise, this is our first picture together. 

NYC 2007

At this point, this is what our relationship looked like...we met at SOAR (which was 3 days long), i texted her so much afterwards that she was forced to get a texting plan (my bad)

the next set of pictures are from our freshman year of college, first semester.

we go shopping together
we go to football together
we eat out together

  NOW..those adventures look pretty boring right?  WELL trust me...they get better

we relax on the mall together

we take walks together

we store our sticks together
we have inside jokes together

 we worship together
we are scared together

End freshman year...
On to sophomore year..

we go to football together

we go to firestations together

we meet bands together
4) we break into their dressing rooms together

we go to iowa together

we go to another concert together

we drive to Wichita to go to another concert together

we travel together
(after sophomore year we both went on Youth in mission, her to Vancouver, me to Rwanda. Her parents drove us to El Paso Texas)

 End Sophomore year!
Junior year...

we get pretty together

 

 

 

we go to events together

 end junior year..(clearly through the years i get worse at taking pictures)
and on...

we act weird together
we get dressed together
we share important days
we have fun with friends together

I know that was ALOT of pictures...but really i have more...and there is SO much more we do/did together that is not in pictures.
---we make up ridiculous games together
---we share secrets together
---we have a bond with alex that no one else will ever understand
---we are PERFECT for eachother
---we love chapala...but only if we are together

basically i love her to death and am so glad that she is my friend, forever!
so i think i can very easily say, i do not regret MNU, because i met one of the most amazing people in the entire world.
KATELYN LUANN

sheep at 4am? and no iam not counting them!

clearly it has been AWHILE since i have blogged.

           ---here is a confession for you - i had a baby monitor in my room through probably 8th grade, because i would get scared in the night and need my daddy to come comfort me....pathetic.  but i wont deny it
---as iam at this job...i think...WOW i really like sleeping.  and here iam not sleeping.
---it totally jakcs with my head...literally.
---i went to the dr last week and got put back on meds for my headaches (praise Jesus), but working over night one or two nights a week messes up my meds schedule....so i have a slight head ache right now. NO BIG
---WE FOUND A PLACE TO LIVE!  (no iam not homeless) ((and so blessed not to be)) 
---we have been "renting" from Mr D's parents neighbors (follow that?)  they were sent to texas on business right at the time we were deciding to move home and they offered their home.
---as much as i love their house, iam SO ready to be in a place of my own!!!
---so we got the ok today that they place is ours!  YEEHAW

things to be honest about

----it has been forever and a day since i have blogged, and i sincerely apologize to people who depend on this to stay updated on my like (AKA - LU, and Amber)
----i have been "working" alot.  i say this in quotes BECAUSE I am AT work alot...but the amount of work that i actually do is pretty well minimal.  ( i mean i work over nights. )
-----i am at work right now.  clocked in at 10:45 pm...was done with my needed duties by 11:10 (still have to set out breakfast at 5:30)  other wise i have been browsing the Internet and TRYING to keep my ojos open (its hard)
----went to the doc today....he told me iam ONE jacked up kid.  (well OK not really.)  he put me on a new medication for my head aches.  and I am really hoping that it works.  I am pretty well fed up with them.
----we are currently looking for somewhere to live.  we have to be out of our house by the end of october but would LIKE to be out by the end of september.  the looking is not going great.  NOONE in pella allows pets.  REALLY people...iam NOT giving up my pup and kitty!  NOT happening.  JUst not.

annoyed

well this is brutal honesty....
i found a quote the other day....

-i wish i was as skinny as i was when i though i was fat-

yup. truth. 

me at my skinniest....(yes i thought i was a chunk)  that is a small tshirt.  (and yes i do have killer legs...i swear it is muscle)

this is me now.

NOW.  to start off...i was not always that skinny.  i was a "chunk"  all the way up to senior year of high school...then i got put on an anti-siezure med.  and i lost alot of weight.  then junior year of college i stopped taking those meds...and bloated back up. 
that is all there is to it.  and iam annoyed.
